Free League Publishing has unveiled the latest expansion for The One Ring Second Edition tabletop RPG with the release of Realms of the Three Rings, now available globally through the Free League webshop and hobby stores. Simultaneously, a 5E-compatible version, Keepers of the Elven-rings, is also available, bringing new adventures and lore from Tolkien’s Middle-earth into the hands of players using the 5E system.
A Deep Dive Into the Realms of the Elves
The Realms of the Three Rings expansion transports players to the fabled domains of the Elves: Lórien, Rivendell, and Lindon. The book provides detailed descriptions of these lands, their cultures, and the immortal guardians who protect them including the Elf-lords entrusted with the Three Elven Rings of Power. Players will uncover ancient secrets and witness the escalating threat of Sauron’s shadow as it creeps into even the most sacred corners of Middle-earth.
In the twilight of the Third Age, three realms of the West-elves still endure in Middle-earth. By the power of the Three Rings, they exist as a testament to a time that was. But not only the Elves remember. As Sauron gathers his strength to bring war to Middle-earth once again, he plans a devious vengeance against those who humbled him long ago.
